Asleep

Robert J. Lefkowitz, a Jewish physician and path-breaking biochemist from New York, has won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry jointly with Brian K. Kobilka, a researcher at California’s Stanford University.

Lefkowitz told a news conference by telephone he was asleep when the phone call came from Sweden.
"I did not hear it - I must share with you that I wear earplugs to sleep. So my wife gave me an elbow. So there it was, a total shock and surprise," he said.

One organization which is not asleep is Camera which alerted readers to Wall Street Journal's Creative Cartographers.

You can see the labeling on the map at the 2:33 mark.

  1. Could the war between Ishmael and Edom be Turkey with Nato against Syria, Iran, Lebanon etc? If Turkey's military might is so much greater than Syria, maybe Turkey is the country who will be responsible for this:

    The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
